All UFC ‘Fight for the Troops 2’ Drug Tests Come Back Clean

All six fighters who submitted to a drug screen prior to UFC
“Fight for the Troops 2” tested negative for both drugs of
abuse and performance enhancing substances.

Marc Ratner, UFC vice president of regulatory affairs, confirmed
the results with Sherdog.com on Thursday. “Fight for the Troops 2”
aired live on Spike TV Jan. 22 and reportedly raised nearly $4.1
million for the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund.

The event took place at Fort Hood near Killeen, Texas, and was
headlined by a pivotal lightweight clash between Melvin
Guillard and Evan Dunham.
Both main event competitors were subjected to drug screens, as were
four other randomly selected fighters whose identities were not
revealed.

The tests were conducted by an independent laboratory at the UFC’s
request. The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation -- the
state body that oversaw the proceedings on Jan. 22 -- does not
require athletes to be drug tested before or after an event.

In the evening’s featured attraction, Guillard shocked bookmakers
by knocking out the world-ranked Dunham in the first round. After
crumpling the Oregonian with a laser-like counter right hand,
Guillard swarmed on his opponent with a flurry of punches and knees
that earned him the TKO stoppage only 2:58 into the bout.
